Legion Auxiliary Kevin Ellison Named Fireman of the Year
Police authorities have released information that a form of TATTOO called "Blue Star" is readily available in some areas of the United States. In appearance this is a small sheet of white paper containing blue stars the size of a pencil eraser. Each star is impregnated with LSD and can be removed from the paper and placed in the mouth. Absorption can occur through the skin and also simply by handling the paper.
There are also brightly colored paper tabs resembling postage stamps in size and which have pictures such as Superman, Mickey Mouse, and other Disney characters, butterflies, clowns, etc. These stamps are packed in a red cardboard box with a picture of Mickey Mouse wrapped in foil in a clear lock-type bag. The package usually contains five one inch square stamps. This is a new way of selling LSD and is designed to promote new addicts through appeal and enslavement of children.
A child could happen upon these items by accident and have a fatal "trip". It is also known that very young children could be given a free "tattoo" by older children who want to merely have seme fun, or by others who are interested in cuttivatinf new customer*.
Anyone having information regarding these items should contact their Local Law Enforcement Agency.

These are all laced with drugs - usually hallucinogenic drugs like POP and LSD.
Everyone is cautioned that if you see any of the above described drugs, DO NOT HANDLE!!!!
